US Spent $4 Million Promoting Regime Change in Cuba in 2015
By teleSUR
30 September 16
In the past two decades, Washington funded destabilizing programs with about
US $284 million, according to the official data of the U.S. administration.
Washington spent close to US$4 million in 2015 alone to fund programs that
promote regime change in the socialist island of Cuba through the U.S.
agency National Endowment for Democracy, data compiled by journalist Tracey
Eaton revealed, issued Wednesday by Along the Malecon.
Cuban youth are the main target of such funding, followed by communications,
with US$2 million, and political activities in communities, with US
$673,362.
The organization that received the highest amount of money was the Cuban
Democratic Directorate, which has been leading destabilization attempts for
25 years from Miami.
The newspapers most funded by Barack Obama's administration was Diario de
Cuba and Cubanet.
The NED was created by the administration of former U.S. president Ronald
Reagan in 1983 and operates as a foundation that provides grants for
"democracy promotion." The foundation is structured as an umbrella with
business flavor.
In many ways the NED resembles previous CIA efforts in the 1950s, 60s and
70s to provide mostly public money for secret operations aimed to bolster
pro-U.S. governments and movements abroad.
It houses four other organizations reflecting U.S. sectoral and party
interest: the U.S. labor-affiliated American Center for International Labor
Solidarity; the Chamber of Commerce-linked Center for International Private
Enterprise; and the other two, the National Democratic Institute for
International Affairs and the International Republican Institute reflect
Democrat and Republican affiliations respectively.
